“Welcome, listeners. It’s wonderful to see so many faces today.
Curious, about the legends of old are you? It’s nice to know our
stories are still of interest to the new generations. My name is
Naomhán. Please, come take a seat around the campfire while I guide
you through this tale. Can you hear it? The whispering of legends, the
ghosts of campfire stories, drift through the air… Can you feel the
presence of myths and magic? … I think we’re ready to
begin..”-The Ghosts of Campfire Stories is a play written and
produced by Crimson Tea Productions featuring music written by Erutan
(Kate Covington). It is based upon old legends of The Sea Maiden of
Kessock - a tragic tale of a Ceasg - as well as the myth of the Kelpie
of Loch Ness; the Origin Story of Nessie. As the Scots legends tell
their almost forgotten tales, Thor and Loki share their own stories
from times long past. And a creature, born of Norse myth and Scots
combined, surfaces to delve into their own story. The Ghosts of
Campfire Stories highlights the importance and history of Norse mythos
in Scotland as well as our own old tales. With some mildly distressing
themes, mild language and scenes of mild threat, Crimson Tea
Productions has rated the play as suitable for all audiences with
parental supervision.Please note that this venue has limited capacity
